Fight with Carrie. One aide has left. Cummings threatening to walk out (let him go was the cry!). But still. Why is she interfering? They're bad enough without WAGS getting involved.

I'm not so sure. One of the most poisonous appointees of the Vote Leave government is this "Lord" David Frost, our so-called negotiator, who seems determined to force through a no-deal brexit.

Yes they will try to get a deal. They have seen the writing on the wall. People arent going to be interested in a mini Trump.

The PM’s advisers are not supposed to be in the public eye and are almost anonymous. I believe he is leaving after Christmas. Good job he is going after the damage he did during lockdown, he should have gone then, don’t know why they are waiting! Carrie is bound to tell Boris what she sees, after all Dennis was the voice behind Margaret Thatcher from what I have read.

Now Cummings has gone expect a change in Brexit strategy, maybe they will actually try to get a deal. Pressure from back benchers as well as the grandees meant change had to happen, another U turn ?.

Whats the betting Carrie gets a plum job ( unadvertised natch)

I wonder if the 1922 Committee read the riot act?

How can we get back any decent MPs without a General Election?

Remind me what Carrie was elected to do!!!

Muck out the stables
Drain the swamp
Get back some politicians with talent.

Hope the baby is a good sleeper ;)

Thank goodness

Well the results of the american election are certainly causing some pleasing ripples.

He should have gone in April then we’d have more respect for Johnson.

He's gone... pathetic little creep! Thank God to Carrie if she's had a hand in it. He'll be reviled forever. What an awful man. Whoever could live with someone like that? To constantly have to make excuses for him as a partner.
Let's get someone with a sensible head into the post. We need the grownups to step up and pull together now.

Devorgilla Fri 13-Nov-20 17:34:12

My weekend suddenly looks a whole lot brighter. Never thought I'd see him leave, complete with cardboard box. Now, I wonder, what will happen next?

Has he really gone? Or was that just a media stunt via the front door, if he was really going to go, he could have taken everything out the back?

That isn’t how the arrogant little s...t works though is it?

He’s left a government in absolute chaos as a time of peak crises.

Brexit is imminent with no deal yet agreed. Covid is a continual crises and there are other issues on the horizon, and we have a Prime minister who is clueless with clueless people around him.

WOW

Who will be next? This kind of dust-up doesn't stop at the principal characters.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 13-Nov-20 17:26:40

I would imagine that the military, the MOD and intelligence services must be breathing huge sighs of relief as will the whole of the civil service.

tanith Fri 13-Nov-20 17:21:15

He’s gone good job too.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 13-Nov-20 17:20:47

Blimey he’s gone!

There must be huge bust ups going on.

^He wrote he'd like to build the kind of team and operation that makes him "largely redundant" by Christmas.^

That sounds very worrying.
The country being run by a team of Cummings Clones.

Don’t worry it ain’t going to happen.
